This is a pair of Shigaraki-yaki tanuki (raccoon dog) figurines. They are believed to bring good fortune in finances, luck, warding off evil, and prosperity in business. Tanuki are known for their strong marital love, and because they stay with their partners for life, they also symbolize "marital harmony." The tanuki figurine, which means "to surpass others," is recommended not only for those seeking business prosperity but also for those who want to pass exams or achieve good results in sports or academics, and wish to win against rivals ⭐︎ The wistful backs of the two figures evoke a sense of marital love ♡ Material: Ceramic Size: ♂ Height 18cm x Width 15cm x Belly bulge 15cm ♀ Height 18cm x Width approx. 12cm x Belly bulge 12cm *Unit: cm. Approximate size measured by a non-professional. They were placed on the balcony of an apartment, so they haven't gotten very wet from the rain. There is a 5mm scratch on the girl's right hand (photo 9), but I haven't noticed any noticeable stains. As they are old items, there may be some oversights, so please understand and purchase. *I am also selling a slightly larger pair and a baby tanuki. Thank you for looking.
